Unfortunate Description.

Getting suits on for some 4th fun with friends.

Max: "When I get in the pool? I get a chubby!"

Me: [Eyeballs explode.] [Tongue. Lodged. In. Throat.] "What's that?"

Max: "Like, in the front of my swim shorts. It gets chubby when I get in the pool."

Me: "You mean, your shorts fill with air when you get in the pool and it makes you look chubby?"

Max: "Yeah!"

It's times like these I'm so glad Max is headed to public school in the fall. I love the Presbyterians as much as anyone can love a group of people who eat babies in the moonlight. But sometimes, it stressed me out thinking of the things Max might say to his private school teachers.

At public school though? It's a free for all.

Mason calls one of his blankets his "wank it" and the other his "wee wee." This never stops delighting all the 8 year old boys who visit my house. I don't encourage these names, but he persists.

How ever I do encourage him to say "dump truck" to anyone who will listen. Even grandma. I am going to hell.

Freaking hilarious! I think that you should reconsider private school just to get material for the blog:) I love to see the shocked look on the faces of "church ladies" (and men).

Oh, sweet Jeebus, that's funny! Having a little boy must be fun...

Yes, public school is a free for all. Just ask my son. My son who has a father (my EX) who unfortunately likes Kiss. And Gene Simmons. And that tongue-and-two-V'd-fingers thing Gene Simmons does on stage.

Guess what Daniel did to his teacher the first day of school in a "look what I can do" moment?

Yeahhh. That was one thing she HADN'T seen before.

I, too, would pause in horror over what "a chubby" might mean. Though I can't wait to hear what will come out of my son's mouth when he eventually says something other than "BAAAAH," God help us all when that day comes.

That is effin hysterical! I love the things children say. Well, most of the time. It's when they say them in PUBLIC in front of other adults that I become horrified :-)

Hilarious... I am terrrified of Josh going to kindergarten this year. He WAS is Christian daycare and two of the more memorable occassions where when he sat around the lunch table with the other 3/4 year olds and taught them how to say F**K, like his big brother does in the gym; and second this year when he had four other little boys got in trouble for showing their whitie-tighties...only thing was, was that Josh was not wearing any!! This is also our home church, so you can only imagine how POPULAR I am :)

Boy, you aren't kidding! My daughter was one of the ones who eagerly picked up the language at school, and brought it home to share. Unfortunately, our reaction was to laugh so hard we choked into our dinner napkins. BAD reinforcement. BAD.
